Message: [QUOTE="Marbles90, post: 3472990, member: 7436"] Not equating this virus to the flu, only the public reaction. According the the CDC site, there are 49 million cases of the flu this year 620,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths. In the United States this year alone. So why are we not reacting to the flu the same way with cancellations and trying to put everyone in a glass box? Even if you say, well, Corona could end up being twice as bad, isn't the flu is still a mass killer and should be looked at the same way? Yet, it is not and the risk group is similar. And, oh by the way, according to CDC as of noon today there have been 649 cases of Corona in the US. 25 deaths so far. That's six hundred forty-nine out of three hundred million people in the US. I agree let's be cautious. But the reaction just seems way over the top to me. [/QUOTE]
